I would also like to suggest our BlackAdder product which is a GUI IDE for Python and Ruby that runs on Linux and Windows and uses the Qt windowing toolkit. It also makes use of our Qt port of Scintilla which has the Ruby features mentioned before. BlackAdder is on beta 3 right now and the Ruby support is new in this release, so we are working on getting the packaging set up properly, but other than the lack of debugger support, it is quite nice.
